Too bad he said he didn't want to serve in Vietnam, and went on a missionary trip to France instead.
I have a lot of friends and ex-relatives that have gone on those “missionary” trips. Generally there is less risk of severe lead poisoning.
But to be frank, my post was a tongue in cheek joke. I see McCains POW status more and more like Kerry’s “vote for me because I have three purple hearts” BS.
“Too bad he said he didn’t want to serve in Vietnam, and went on a missionary trip to France instead.”
He flipped on that and later longed to have served.
This is the latest, evidently he was prevented from enlisting by some outside force.
